1. First, Shakespeare wrote his plays in blank verse featuring iambic
pentameter because that was the style of the day. Think of it as a way
for an author to show off--and it really is quite impressive if one
thinks about it. There are very few authors who can create characters
and plots as rich as Shakespeare's and write their lines in a consistent
meter.
2. Secondly (I think that this might be what you are asking), when
Shakespeare's characters speak in verse (iambic pentameter), they are
usually the noble (aristocratic) characters, and their speech represents
their high culture and position in society. If you simply look at one
of Shakespeare's plays, you can often tell when the commoners are
speaking because their lines will go from margin to margin (this is
true, too, of nobles who are acting like commoners--whether they're
involved in evil schemes, losing their minds, or are drunk!). In
contrast, Shakespeare's other characters' lines should sound and look
different to you--they should sound "sing-songy" and should look like
poetry with uneven lengths.
A good example of this is from Othello. When Iago is speaking to his
peers or to those in position of authority over them, his speech is in
verse, but when he is plotting and talking to Roderigo (especially at
the play's beginning), his lines are not in iambic pentameter--this
represents the bawdy nature of his speech and, in truth, the baseness of
his character.
Answer:
in my opinion, there should be rules set for privacy in homes between children and parents. the parents are older and have more authority over the children so maybe they will request more privacy but parents shouldn't invade children's privacy.
Explanation:
Answer:
Shakespeare changed the reason why the two lovers were unable to be together and how their death impacted each other's family.
Explanation:
"Romeo and Juliet", one of Shakespeare's most famous works, was inspired by the story of "Pyramus and Thisbe". That's because Pyramus and Thisbe were two young people in love with each other, who were forbidden by their parents to be together. Unlike "Romeo and Juliet" Pyramus and Thisbe's parents knew of the romance between the two, besides, the romance between Romeo and Juliet was prohibited because of the fight between their families, but no one knows why the parents of Pyramus and Thisbe did not allow love between the two. We can also say that the death of Romeo and Juliet has a strong impact on story, since Shakespeare shows that these deaths were able to change the behavior of the families of young people, because it made them realize that the enmity between them was disastrous. In Pyramus and Thisbe we do not know the impact of deaths on families.
With that, we can say that Shakespeare, left his history more detailed, comprehensive and identifiable.

Climax: (The mermaid travels to find a magical octopus, whose ink is a cure for the witch’s poison.) Falling Action: (The mermaid returns with the ink.) Resolution: (She saves her sister.)
5. It is Setting because it tells us where this story is taking place (had a small shop in the middle of the village, where they would create the most beautiful shoes for the king.)
